1953 Bowman Color #33 Pee Wee Reese PSA 8 NM-MT
PEE WEE IN ACTION!!! One of Pee Wee Reese's most coveted cards is his 1953 Bowman Color subject, which portrays a compelling action pose of the HOF shortstop leaping high over a baserunner sliding into second base. Presented here in a regal PSA 8 holder, it has earned the grand assessment via its vivid resolution, sparking hues, sharp perimeter, and pack-fresh surfaces. One of the most popular shortstops in baseball history was the Dodgers slick fielding Peter Harold "Pee Wee" Reese, who earned his iconic "Pee Wee" nickname by being a superior marbles player (Pee Wee was a particular type of marble). The immortal Dodgers "Captain" led his team to two world championships, first in 1955 with Brooklyn, their first and only championship, and then in Los Angeles when the Dodgers bested the White Sox in the 1959 Fall Classic. A ten-time All-Star, Reese was the heart and soul of the beloved Bums, and was forever enshrined in Cooperstown, NY in 1984.
